Financial Documentation
For admission, you or your sponsor must provide a current bank statement showing a minimum balance equivalent to at least $16,819 USD in addition to a Financial Guarantee Form signed by the student and sponsor. Students must provide documentation of financial support for the full potential estimated cost of attendance, even if the actual cost varies.
Insurance Requirement
Medical insurance coverage is required for all international students. This coverage is not available through Butler. Students must purchase coverage and provide proof of coverage before the start of classes.
- Insurance must meet the following requirements:
- Medical benefits of at least $100,000 per accident or illness
- Coverage of at least $10,000 for repatriation of remains
- Coverage of at least $15,000 for medical evacuation
- A deductible per accident or illness not exceeding $500
- Include inpatient and outpatient coverage for sickness and accidents
Butler does not recommend a specific insurance company or policy. Purchased coverage must be active during the entire semester or school year. Information on the dates of coverage must be provided when submitting proof of medical insurance. If proof of insurance is not received after classes begin, a hold will be placed on the student’s account. This will prevent future enrollment.
Processing Fee of $75
Butler requires a non-refundable $75 USD processing fee for full-time F-1 international students. This includes all applicants overseas and transfer students from other institutions. The non-refundable processing fee must be paid within 7 days of the admissions deadline to be considered for admission. International guest students pay a $25 USD processing fee each semester. See the Payment Methods below for guidance on paying the fee.
Payment Methods
When making any payment on your account, including the processing fee, you will need to provide your name and Butler student ID.

If student bills are not paid, a hold will be placed on the student’s account that may prevent future enrollment, schedule changes, and transcript orders, which may negatively affect the student’s visa status.
